The ViewBrighton Review

Review byGareth Thomas13/10/2007
The Regency Tavern is not only considered to be Brighton's oldest gay pub, it can also boast that it's so historic it's even got its own ghosts.

The Venue
Tucked away on Russell Square is a hostelry that's billed as Brighton’s oldest gay pub (rather than a pub for old gays) but it is in fact one of the oldest pubs (of any persuasion) in Brighton. It was established in 1700 and, what's more, is said to be haunted by not one but two ghosts. With a white painted facade and a blue sign and gold writing this Shepherd Neame pub is a classic, well-presented boozer.

The People
The Regency Tavern is always busy with locals, regulars and hotel residents of all ages catching up over some pub grub and a pint of ale.

The Food and Drink
On tap there's Master Brew, Asahi, Oranjeboom, Bishops Finger and Leffe and if you need to line your stomach the traditional pub food menu is supplemented with daily specials.

The Last Word
An historic gay pub that's classic and comfortable in spite of its reputed ghosts.
